Symbian OS is capable of running on Intel Atom processors, revealed Symbian Executive Director Lee Williams.
Williams noted that the problem is not the technical side, but the business perspective of the challenge. It is likely for Atom processors to be more expensive than the currently used ARM processors, as they are designed to run on netbooks and low-power notebooks, rather than on mobile phones.
The feat was achieved by the SOSCO (S60 on Symbian Customer Operations) team, who used "an off the shelf Atom based motherboard from Intel". The director also said that this port could bring in new "major business partners willing to come in and invest in the development of a product solution, and one that enables some differentiators to come to market for consumers".
